Axis of Evil (Non Spoiler) While exploring Sparky’s, I came across a fanfic called. “Axis of Evil.” By Trey_Vore, I was hooked by the storyline and how well the story itself was developed, I’ve never seen a story like this before, the story is not only filled with Text, but also pictures as well, reminds me of when you would go and pick out a picture book. Anyway, I’m going to give you the good, the bad and the nerdy. XD First the good: This story is outstanding, I would have to say that if Trey were to be approached by any company from a studio and they asked for him to do an art illustration for them or if they were to come up and tell him. “We’ve seen your artwork or we’ve seen your stories, we’d like for you to produce an animated series of your choosing.” I would watch it, the Characters, Roxy, Weiss Kids, Diana, I can imagine the excitement that people would have if they saw the Weiss Kids on the small screen with Roxy and Diana appearing as re-occuring characters. The characters were amazing, the characters were in complete character, if not all, the plot is amazing as well, we have Lucky who fears about Two-Tone finding out about the dream that he once had about Diana as well as pups trying to hook up Sanka and Tiffany, we also have antagonist who the pups thought was dosed with the fear toxin and brought back to reality only to exact revenge on the Dearly pups, I won’t go too far into the plot, but I can say that you will love the story. Now for the bad: There’s nothing bad about it, the only thing bad about it is the cliffhanger. XD Though I can understand real life comes first before anything else. Now for the Nerdy: There are references everywhere. TV Shows and music from the 80’s and the 90’s, there’s even a reference to Doctor Who, I was expecting a Doctor to appear from the Time Machine and seeing if Doc would like to travel with him in his Tardis. If I could give this a rating, I’d give this story a 9/10, yep, it’s that good.

I find it weird that you found absolutely no flaws in that story whatsoever. I personally found it to be one of the worst fanfics I've ever read. Don't believe me? Check out my review of it to see what I didn't like about it. Though my review has spoilers.
Also, this fanfic is unfinished. Trey hasn't touched it in six years. I still don't know if he'll ever finish it though.

Belchic, we all have different opinions, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that I have to give it a low score, I like the story, regardless and I enjoyed the references that it gave out, the reason I don't want to spoil anything is because I want people who are new and hear about the story, I want them to find out where the cliffhanger is or how the stories and episodes end on their own. ^^;
I'm not giving Trey a Zero on a story he worked so hard on, I may change the score, but in my book, he still deserves an 8 or 9 out of ten.
And for the Fanfic, if he decides to finish it one day, then I would like to read Part 2 of the story. ^^
But until then, we just have to be patient and realize that he's got a life, we have no right to actually keep him from it.

Thank you for your kind words Shawn. I know I suck for not going through with the story but I had some issues I was dealing with in addition to trying to actually make my first book. Thanks again.

The Perfect Pear
I have to say this is strictly my opinion, out of all the origin stories I've seen, this really was an awesome episode, I do like the Apple Family and CMC episodes for a reason, and this is one of them, so I'm going to give you the good, the bad and the Nerdy when it comes to this episode, beware there might be some spoilers ahead, since I don't know how to avoid spoilers for this episode.
First the Good, I love Origin Stories, from TMNT all the way up to the characters from Marvel, but none of them felt as heartfelt as this (Except Spider-Man it tugs at your heartstrings with Uncle Ben.), but this story is the first time you actually get to know what or who were AJ's, Big Mac's and AppleBloom's parents are, and what they are actually like.
We start off knowing that there was a feud between the Apples and the Pears but I'll get to that in just a minute, the idea with AJ and her siblings trying to find out why Granny Smith hated Pears was a good start, since asking her was way out of the question, so they go around asking the ponies if they knew about the feud and it turns out their parents were in two different families.
Now for the bad, as much as I love this episode, it did have a flaw, that I feel has been done too much, as I said before there was a feud between the Apples and the Pears, now if I recall we have the same effect as if it was a play that Shakespeare himself wrote, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they actually resurrected Shakespeare in order for this episode to be made.
Bright Mac as Romeo Butter Pear as Juliet The Pears and Apples as the Feuding Family.
But unlike Romeo and Juliet, they didn't die in the end, since they had the ponies we know today, but it is heavily implied that they have died though if you have seen every episode.
For the Nerdy, I've got to say if you like Origin stories like me, then you'll love this story, as I've said, this not only focuses on AppleJack, AppleBloom and Big Mac, but it focuses on the origin of how Bright Mac and Butter Pear got married. So, I give this episode a 4 out of 5
